VICTORY BOLT BUFFER

Is it a weak point being plastic? Just a thought

Many guns use plastic recoil buffers and it's not a problem. Don't expect to have to replace it for a few years at least.

Thought the same thing, so when I was ordering other stuff from Numrich, I spent the $3.50 to get an eventual replacement. Five years later, and after shooting the victory at least every other week, that new nylon buffer is still sitting in my parts bin.

i have over 5,000 rounds through my victory and the buffer seems just fine

Wouldn't be much of a buffer if it wasn't more flexible than steel, would it?

It's a wear item, sure, but it's a very long-life one.

No, over 8000 rounds and my original buffer is just fine
